Technical Note!
The words for the dictionary are stored in a simple plain text file SimplyPats Dictionary.ini in the same folder as the program c:\Program Files\SimplyPats 6 You can edit this file with a word processor if you desire. Make sure you dont add quotes " to any words or you may find you have problems when editing the dictionary words again.
The dictionary is limited to 10,000 words and is supplied with about 3,500 words on installation.
There is no pront function on the Maintain Dictionary screen as we dont anticipate that you would want to print out your entire list of words, however, should you wish to do this, follow the instructions in the Technical Note above to load the Dictionary file into your word processing program from where you can print the entire list.
